Orientation

Each year, more than 400 new college freshmen attend our Orientation sessions, which are held in June, July and August prior to the start of the fall semester, and in January before the start of the spring semester. During Orientation, you will learn about what to expect in college and how to have the best possible experience. Some of the topics covered include: time management techniques, financial aid, navigating college requirements, transportation to and from campus, effective study skills, positive roommate relations and our On Point for Jobs program.

Students who are enrolling in college will also receive a full array of college supplies, including a backpack, notebooks, pens, highlighters, thumb drives, and a small stipend for new school clothes. Students who will be living on campus also receive towels, toiletries, sheets, pillows, and a comforter.
